If love took the form of a door, Senku would never leave. If love took the form of spring, you would be kissing dandelions into the breeze.
Maybe if you did it enough times, Senku would grow curious from watch...

It was quiet.
All Senku could hear was one side of his brain counting, while the other side was left to think. He would muddle over what happened when that light had reached him, but what's there to question without anyone to answer.
He's around a hundred billion seconds by now, and it's nearing spring once again; it's time to get moving.
That's what Senku kept telling himself. That's all he can do. Count, wait until it's spring, then force himself to wake up. Sounds way easier on paper, but he had 3717 chances to wake up in the middle of spring. He lost every time.
Weirdly enough, he doesn't feel dejected—just challenged. Right now, the only thing he needed to do was stay conscious. He needed to keep thinking.
So he thinks, what will he do once he finally gets up?
Probably yell at the top of his lungs and start celebrating for a job well done. He laughs at that, mainly because it's what taiju would have done.
Oh right, that makes him wonder what happened to the rest of the world.
What happened to you?
The last thing he remembers of you was when you invited him for your piano performance. If the outside world is still intact and he's the only one encased in stone, he probably missed your performance by now.
Only about a hundred billion seconds late.
Though the idea was highly unlikely; you might have turned into stone too. A shame it was. He didn't even get the chance to take your invitation before all of hell broke loose.
He would have loved to.
The sudden petrification made him rethink his supposed response. Was it too unlike of him to use the term "love to"? Yes. It more or less seemed like a response coming from you.
It was the first time Senku felt relief in this frozen state, knowing he saved himself from saying something corny. He laughs at the thought of this.
Maybe once he frees himself out, he'd get another chance to reword his response in a better way that seems like himself. Easier said than done, the world must have separated the two of you already, in a literal sense.
Nature can be scary, and the probability of violent floods washing you away from his position is quite high. Nature can do a lot of things too. it can send out thunderstorms, burn itself, and ruin what is remaining.
If you're stoned, what are the chances that a lightning strikes a tree nearby and causes it to fall down on your vulnerable statue?
Or perhaps you're near a mountain and the land had just happened to give in after all these years, leading to a cluster of boulders making its way down to your position.
Did you ever consider yourself as lucky?
The only thing that can go against his sentiment was luck. Hopefully you're lucky enough to be all in one piece by the time he gets up and finds you.
